Take a trip to Italy without even leaving your house with this Dairy-Free Tiramisu. This delicious Italian dessert translate to “pick me up” in English thanks to the coffee component. This recipe is not only gluten-free but dairy-free so everyone can enjoy it!
To make this dessert you first start out by making the plant-based mascarpone by combining the cashew milk and lemon juice in a deep saucepan over medium heat until it foams up and curdles. Then you pour that mixture in a cloth lined sieve and squeeze all the liquid out of the curdles and discard the liquid. You then place the curdles in a blender with the coconut cream and blend until the mixture is fluffy. Place the mixture in a covered container and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
For making the Tiramisu you combine the heavy coconut cream, sugar, and vanilla in a mixer and beata until soft peaks form. Then you beat in the mascarpone. In a separate bowl combine the coffee and rum and start dipping the Homefree Vanilla Cookies into the mixture. With the dipped cookies you place them in a baking pan until you complete a layer and then spread half the mascarpone cream mixture over the cookie layer. Repeat the layers and refrigerate overnight. Before serving, dust the desert with cocoa powder.
